If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining.
The alcohol-challenged Archbishop of San Francisco is trying to stomp on the entertainment by adding a ridiculous and legally unenforceable morals clause to the contracts of teachers in Catholic schools in his archdiocese. He is, however, adding to the entertainment by trying to classify as "ministers" (thus adding to his claim to control their thoughts and actions) all Catholic school employees, including teachers, administrative staff, custodial and food service staff.
One seriously and sincerely hopes he gets the help he needs for dealing with his own problems. A healthy archbishop would be a great gift to San Francisco, its Catholics as well as its other citizens.
Let it be.
May the good archbishop indeed get the help he needs. Perhaps he already is, since many rehab programs are strictly anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThis is one area where I think the Church can say 'if you work for us we want you to follow our principles". On the other hand, who on earth would want to work for them?
ReplyDeleteIt is a puzzlement as to why one would work for the church. Note, however, that the archbishop is talking about people who cut the grass and cook in the cafeteria. people who may not have lots of job options and who should not be expected to meet criteria having nothing to do with the tasks for which they are being paid.
